Donald Trump’s legal battle against the corrupt New York justice system is just beginning.
Now the system is trying to hand Joe Biden another political favor.
And Donald Trump is facing this awful situation after Alvin Bragg pulled a dirty trick.
Donald Trump still gagged by Democrat judge in Manhattan
Former President Donald Trump was slapped with an unconstitutional gag order by Democrat Judge Juan Merchan during a Soviet-style show trial in Manhattan.
Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg got his conviction against Trump on 34 contrived crimes.
The trial is over, but Merchan kept the gag order on Trump through his July 11 sentencing hearing.
By doing so, Merchan is muzzling the former President to keep him from being able to defend himself in the court of public opinion after the unjust verdict against him.
Violating the gag order could influence the Democrat Judge’s sentencing decision when Trump faces potential jail time.
Being able to brand Trump as a convicted felon was the entire point of Bragg’s sham case.Â
President Joe Biden’s campaign announced that they were going to flood the airwaves with a $50 million TV ad blitz, calling Trump a convicted felon.
Trump can’t defend himself at Thursday’s CNN debate where Biden will most assuredly attack him over the Manhattan trial because of the gag order.
Merchan – a donor to Biden’s 2020 campaign – is forcing Trump to tie one hand behind his back at the debate.
Trump’s legal team appealed the gag order to the New York Court of Appeals as a violation of Trump’s First Amendment rights.
The court ruled against Trump saying “no substantial Constitutional question is directly involved.”
A local Democrat judge is restricting the speech of a leading Presidential candidate during an election over a case that will play an important part in the campaign – America is in uncharted territory at this point.
Alan Dershowitz slams New York Appeals Court for keeping gag order in place
Former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz ripped the New York Court of Appeals for upholding the gag order on his Dershow podcast.
“I want to complain again about the New York Court of Appeals,” Dershowitz said. “They said there was no Constitutional issue, no constitutional issue when you have prior restraint against a man running for President.”
Dershowitz said the public was entitled to hear Trump’s point of view on the case.
“I haven’t decided who to vote for,” Dershowitz said. “I want to hear from Donald Trump. I want to hear what he has to say about the trial. I want to hear what people involved in the trial have to say. I want a debate. I want a discussion. I want a marketplace of ideas. I don’t want the New York courts to shut the marketplace of ideas, and I don’t want the Connecticut bar to shut the marketplace of ideas.”
The Connecticut Bar Association put out a release warning lawyers against calling Trump’s case a “sham,” “rigged,” or “corrupt.”
“Nothing is more important than freedom of speech, particularly during a presidential election, but we’re not getting that,” Dershowitz continued. “We’re getting the district attorney of New York using a criminal prosecution as a sword and then using a gag order as a shield against criticism. It’s utterly unfair and it’s utterly unconstitutional and if the New York Court of Appeals doesn’t think there’s a constitutional issue involved in prior restraint against the man running for president, come to my class in constitutional, criminal law. Come to my First Amendment class. Read my First Amendment writings, listen to my podcast, I think . . . read the First Amendment! Read the First Amendment!”
Judge Merchan continues to move the needle to help Joe Biden’s re-election campaign.Â
